The BJP state chief of Tamil Nadu, K. Annamalai targeted the DMK and announced that he would not wear sandals and walk barefoot until the latter is taken out from power in the state.
He was talking to media on Thursday in Coimbatore.
He blamed the DMK government for the present deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
The Tamil Nadu BJP leader, Annamalai, announced he would be fasting for 48 days and visiting all the six holy abodes of Lord Murugan.
He also attacked the state police for leaking the FIR in the sexual assault case at Anna University.
He said that the leak was intentional and led to the revealing of the identity of the 19-year-old rape victim, who is also an engineering student at Anna University.
He alleged that the accused Gnanashekaran was not in the list of criminals of the Tamil Nadu Police despite being involved in several crime cases.
BJP leader Annamalai said that this was due to Gnanashekaran's proximity to the DMK leaders.
The Tamil Nadu BJP President, an ex-IPS officer himself, claimed that the accused Gnanashekaran was a DMK functionary and even produced evidence for the same.
He further said that the DMK was trying to divert the attention from the failing law and order situation in the state by creating a false narrative of the North-South divide.
A roadside biriyani vendor Gnashekaran was arrested by the Chennai police for allegedly raping a student of Anna University.
According to the police, the incident occurred when the girl and her male friend were sitting in a secluded area of the campus after attending a midnight Christmas mass at a nearby church.
The accused attacked the male friend, brutally assaulting him before dragging the girl to a nearby shrub and raping her.
The Greater Chennai Police have come under severe criticism following the incident.
Authorities had earlier claimed to have implemented fool-proof security measures for Christmas celebrations, deploying more than 8,000 officers on duty.
This horrific incident comes amid ongoing criticism of the DMK government over the state's law and order situation.
A third-year college girl with a psychological problem, was gang-raped allegedly by a gang of 10 men, within a span of ten months, four of them are arrested so far. She was reportedly gang raped in a spate of 10 months by the accused, which came into public domain when her single father, working as a loadman, filed a complaint to Chintadripet All Women police station. It was transferred to the Egmore police station afterwards.
The father found obscene material on his daughter's phone and asked her about it.
Initially she was evasive, but later told her father that she had been repeatedly raped by a group of men who took her to different lodges and other secluded places.
The police have registered a case under nine sections, including those related to the rape of women with mental or physical disabilities and kidnapping, based on the rape victim's statement.
Preliminary investigations have shown that the rape survivor met three of the suspects through a mutual college friend in October last year.
The men allegedly raped the victim at multiple locations.
She also reported that she was assaulted by other people she met through the social networking application.
